We are exchanging contract on a garden flat this week that has a 100 ft garden - lovely! We went to see it again this weekend with our landscape gardener as he is going to totally change it for us. As we were walking around the grass (in the pouring rain and mud), we noticed a lot of what I think is fox poo. The people who live there do not have a dog, and it was too big for cat poo.
Now, at the back of the garden, some of the fencing was down so I assume this was how the fox is getting in. But I have no idea - do foxes climb 6 ft fences?
The garden is currently all grass. When we have it redone, it will be very little grass, a lot of bark chips, and a "wild area" with meadow grass and flowers at the rear.
So, my question is - what attracts foxes? Will they poo on bark chips? Are they likely to be attracted to the wild area? Can they get in over the fences?
I will have 3kids running around in the garden and would prefer for them not to be treading in fox poo!
